Comment from a Roman Supporter!

I’m 76 and had I been able to vote it would have been to remain in the
EU. This is not only because I’m British but living in Italy (although
I am thinking about returning to the UK in spite of the fact that my
son and his family are in Italy) but also because I think remaining in
Europe is much better for the UK than leaving it. I think that the
Referendum to leave has opened a Pandora’s box and the resulting
complications have only just started. I also think that the campaign
to leave was not an honest one re the NHS and immigrants and the
remainders were so confident about wining that they did not campaign
enough to point out the advantages. One important issue for me as an
older person that many of my peers seem to have overlooked is that a
united Europe has meant no wars between EU countries. We are
witnessing how wars destroy lives and the numbers of desperate
refugees forced to flee their homelands. The EU is young and reforms
are needed but reforms are always needed to make improvements. I do
think that the young have been let down by their elders, although
unintentionally, and that it is the young who will be left to deal
with a Brexit they did not want.
